Editorial principles

Labels, always

Every publication states what it is: news, opinion, analysis, personal story, interview, investigation, satire, sponsored content or campaign announcement. Articles written with AI assistance say so. Member publications are identified as member-created and are not presented as independently verified journalism. Sample and demonstration content is labelled as such.

Sources

Factual claims — especially in investigations — require sources. We do not publish fabricated quotations, statistics, events, sources or endorsements. Writing about real people must not invent their words, positions or affiliations.

Independence and sponsorship

Commercial content is always disclosed and kept separate from independent editorial content. Sponsors have no say over editorial decisions.

Corrections policy

When we get something wrong, we correct it openly. Corrected articles show their updated date and, where the change is material, a note explaining what changed. Members are expected to do the same with their own work, and editors may add correction notes to member publications that contain verified errors.

Moderation

Moderation follows our published community guidelines — not popularity and not political viewpoint. Automated tools may help flag content, but humans make high-impact decisions. Every enforcement action is logged and can be appealed.

Ownership

Creators own their work. You can edit, unpublish, delete or export your publications at any time.
